Yu Darvish, the enigmatic pitcher whose name resonates with the elegance of a well-crafted pitch slicing through the air, stands as a testament to the global appeal and transcendence of baseball. Born in Osaka, Japan, on August 16, 1986, Darvish's journey to the heights of Major League Baseball is one defined by perseverance, skill, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. From his early days in Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) league, Darvish showcased an unparalleled blend of power, finesse, and an extensive repertoire of pitches that left batters bewildered and fans in awe. Standing at a towering 6 feet 5 inches, Darvish possessed the physicality and athleticism of a true ace, combined with a meticulous approach to his craft that bordered on the obsessive. Darvish's arsenal of pitches is as diverse as it is devastating, featuring a blazing fastball that can touch the upper 90s, a slider with wicked late movement, a curveball that drops off the table, a deceptive changeup, and a splitter that can make hitters look foolish. Yet, it's not just the variety of pitches that sets Darvish apart; it's his ability to command them with pinpoint precision, consistently hitting his spots and keeping hitters off balance. In 2012, Darvish made the highly anticipated leap to Major League Baseball, signing with the Texas Rangers to much fanfare and excitement. His transition to the MLB was seamless, as he quickly established himself as one of the most dominant pitchers in the game. Darvish's time with the Rangers was marked by numerous accolades, including multiple All-Star selections and a near-perfect game in 2013 that showcased his brilliance on the mound. After his tenure with the Rangers, Darvish embarked on a journey that took him to several teams, including the Los Angeles Dodgers, Chicago Cubs, and San Diego Padres. Along the way, he continued to cement his reputation as one of the premier pitchers of his generation, dazzling fans with his electrifying stuff and racking up strikeouts with ease. Beyond his on-field exploits, Darvish is also known for his charisma, humility, and unwavering work ethic. Despite his superstar status, he remains grounded and approachable, always willing to engage with fans and give back to the community. In every aspect of his career, Yu Darvish embodies the essence of excellence. Whether he's toeing the rubber on the mound, interacting with fans off the field, or serving as an ambassador for the game of baseball, Darvish's impact transcends borders and speaks to the universal language of passion, dedication, and the pursuit of greatness. More than just a story of baseball triumphs, this book is a testament to the power of perseverance, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of one's dreams.

Sufism formed one of the cultures of resistance which has existed in the social fabric of Persia since antiquity. Such resistance continues to manifest itself today with many looking to Sufism as a model of cooperation between East and West, between traditional and modern. 'Sufism in the Secret History of Persia' explores the place of Sufi mysticism in Iran's intellectual and spiritual consciousness through traditional and contemporary Sufi thinkers and writers. Sufism in the Secret History of Persia examines the current of spirituality which extends from the old Iranian worship of Mithra to modern Islam. This current always contains elements of gnosis and inner knowing, but has often provided impetus for socio-political resistance. The study describes how these persisting pre-Islamic cultural and socio-religious elements have secretly challenged Muslim orthodoxies and continue to shape the nature and orientation of contemporary Sufism.

"You are all free and you are all responsible." --Holy Qur'an Sufism challenges humanity to review ourselves and our motives. Are we acting in ego for our own selfish benefit? Or are we acting for the good of our community--locally and globally? Have we seriously considered the long-term effects of our decisions, and if so, are we capable of accepting those consequences? Are you truly grateful for what you have, or are you childishly dissatisfied with everything? What is the content of your heart? Sufism not only puts the question to you but demands that you answer with sincerity, and once you have your heartfelt answer, accept that you are truly responsible. "Sufism directs Darvishes to control their instincts and senses wisely using the knowledge held in their mind; the mind controlled and guided by the love radiated from their innocent and wise heart, the heart that is the temple of love, home for sincerity and place for corrections." Whatever faith you may follow, whatever name you have for God, Sufism does not ask that you abandon your existing personal relationship with Our Creator and follow a different path. Sufism asks that you be authentic, sincere, and honest with yourself. It is in living with heartfelt sincerity and integrity that your actions and interactions with Creation fill your heart with love, peace and an enduring sense of contentment. Are you ready to take this journey?

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The inside story of the Houston Astros, whose relentless innovation took them from the worst team in baseball to the World Series in 2017 and 2019 “Reiter’s superb narrative of how the team got there provides powerful insights into how organizations—not just baseball clubs—work best.”—The Wall Street Journal Astroball picks up where Michael Lewis’s acclaimed Moneyball leaves off, telling the thrilling story of a championship team that pushed both the sport and business of baseball to the next level. In 2014, the Astros were the worst baseball team in half a century, but just three years later they defied critics to win a stunning World Series. In this book, Ben Reiter shows how the Astros built a system that avoided the stats-versus-scouts divide by giving the human factor a key role in their decision-making. Sitting at the nexus of sports, business, and innovation, Astroball is the story of the next wave of thinking in baseball and beyond, at once a remarkable underdog tale and a fascinating look at the cutting edge of evaluating and optimizing human potential.

In 2008, as few in the world are unaware, China was host to the world via the Beijing Olympics. The world watched the metamorphosis of Beijing from insecure capital to confident metropolis but, aware of it or not, the world was also watching the symbolic assertion, via the Games, of a rising superpower. The Pacific Rim will be the stage on which China initially displays its new hegemonic intentions, aspirations and ambitions. Thus in Post-Beijing 2008, the political, economic and cultural impact of Beijing 2008 on the geopolitical future of the Pacific Rim will be discussed. This perspective, analysed by some of the most distinguished academic commentators from some of the world's leading universities who are closely associated with the Pacific Rim (East and West), is original in focus and the analysis is pregnant with political possibilities. This book was previously published as a special issue of the International Journal of the History of Sport.

The rich, poignant tales of major league baseball’s most hard-luck fraternity—the pitchers of its Almost-Perfect Games From 1908 to 2015, there have been thirteen pitchers who have begun Major League Baseball games by retiring the first twenty-six opposing batters, but then, one out from completing a perfect game, somehow faltering (or having perfection stolen from them). Three other pitchers did successfully retire twenty-seven batters in a row, but are still not credited with perfect games. While stories of pitching the perfect game have been told and retold, Almost Perfect looks at how baseball, at its core, is about heartbreak, and these sixteen men are closer to what baseball really is, and why we remain invested in the sport. Author Joe Cox visits this notion through a century of baseball and through these sixteen pitchers—recounting their games in thrilling fashion, telling the personal stories of the fascinating (and very human) baseball figures involved, and exploring the historical American and baseball backdrops of each flawed gem. From George “Hooks” Wiltse's nearly perfect game in 1908 to “Hard Luck” Harvey Haddix’s 12-inning, 36-consecutive-outs performance on May 26, 1959 (the most astounding single-game pitching performance in baseball history) to Max Scherzer’s near miss in 2015, Joe Cox’s book captures the action, the humanity, and the history of the national pastime’s greatest “almosts.”
